Why are we doing this?

At this time when there is very little funding for the Music, we thought we would create something great with you, music lovers, celebrating the city of London and its diversity. A festival for the whole family.

A spectacular and unforgettable night of music - bringing artists from different countries on the same stage, exchanging their roots, stories and messages to celebrate the diversity of London.

For all the gigs we've shared and the great support you have shown us over the years, join us now and own a piece of this festival; be our partner for an incredible night London has never seen before.

We need you to make this happen.

How it works?

We need your support to make Focus Africa Music Festival 2017 happen. With pledges from you and others, we will be able to deliver an unforgettable music night in central London. You will be our partners and you will have a share in creating this festival.

The campaign will start 1st February to 15th March (6 weeks) to raise £6.000

With the minimum contribution of £25, you will have free entry to the festival + 1 Free CD from one of the artists performing on the night.

If you are new to Crowdfunding, here’s how it works:

If you pledge money to us, and if enough of you do the same within the time limit, we will reach our target of £6,000. Once we have reached our target your pledges will be debited from your account and the money sent to us. We then deliver Focus Africa Music Festival 2017.

If we don't reach our target of £6.000 at the end of this campaign, the money will not be debited from your account and Focus Africa Music Festival 2017 will not happen.
